Abstract
The results support our hypothesis that psychotropic use is associated with increased risk of stroke among patients with bipolar disorders. The stroke risks are higher among patients with polypharmacy than those with monotherapy. These findings warrant further investigation to confirm and replicate the findings using different methodologies and populations, and to mitigate residual confounding.
